OoC: Here it is. (did I do the OoC thing right?)

IC: “What are you doing?”

Xavier didn’t say anything, instead he chose to yawn and begin walk away, and decided to ignore the shouts coming from the enraged man he had tried to steal from. He brushed off the curses and threats being thrown at him as he leaped onto a nearby merchant stall and then onto the roof of the building it was next to. He tried to ignore the heavy footsteps and shouts from the guards as he leapt across rooftops. Xavier knew he wouldn’t be able to run forever, but he also knew that the guards and their heavy metal armor and weapons would never be able to catch him.

The young man ran for hours before he was sure that he was going to be safe from anyone who would be chasing him. He slowed his pace, began walking down the dirt path he found himself on and eventually came across a small hut. If Xavier had questioned why a hut would be in the middle of a dirt road then perhaps he wouldn’t have entered it... of course, he didn’t think of what could happen to him and within seconds of discovering the cabin he had broken in.

Following a fruitless investigation of the inside of the abandoned hovel for things to eat or take he decided to sit down and relax, his day had been too hectic for his liking. Xavier found a comfortable looking chair sitting in the far left corner of the room and sat down on it. The chair was comfortable enough, and Xavier soon found himself emitting a yawn that would change his life forever. You see, if he had not yawned then he would have heard the small series of clicking sounds and recognized it as the telltale sign of a mechanical trapdoor. Unfortunately for him, his yawn covered up that sound, and as a result he did not expect to fall through a hidden hole in the floor. And he certainly didn’t expect to hit his head when he landed.

When he came to, Xavier found himself in a nondescript white room. He stood up and rubbed his head on the spot that he landed on and found that a lump was forming.

“Where am I?” Xavier mumbled.

If Xavier had seen the third party view of the actions that led up to his current situation he may have found it amusing. He may have laughed a bit by the fact that all of these things could have been avoided if he was just slightly more stealthy, or if his target was just a little less aware of his surroundings. It is funny how life works that way sometimes, unless you are Xavier of course.
